Jared Ivie, Redeux Energy Director of Project Management Office (PMO), shares insights into their journey towards efficient project management and scalability.

Challenges Faced

As a startup, Redeux Energy confronted the challenge of managing exponential growth with a myriad of disparate tools. The company operated using various platforms like Google, Microsoft Word, and Smartsheet, leading to inefficiencies and disjointed processes. Their initial objective was clear: consolidate operations onto a unified platform to support scaling efforts effectively.

Redeux Energy’s decision to transition from Smartsheet to OnePlan stemmed from the need for a structured portfolio management tool. While considering options like Microsoft Project, they found OnePlan to strike the perfect balance between flexibility and robust functionality. This balance addressed the limitations of other tools, offering a comprehensive solution tailored to their project management requirements.

As the company transitioned towards Microsoft’s suite of tools, Redeux Energy also aimed to leverage the seamless integration of Teams, Outlook, and other essential Microsoft applications.

Adopting OnePlan

The introduction of OnePlan marked a pivotal moment for Redeux Energy’s standardization efforts. Prior to integrating OnePlan, the company dedicated significant resources to develop robust internal processes, laying a strong foundation for efficient workflow execution. OnePlan seamlessly fit into this framework, offering the flexibility and functionality required to manage complex project pipelines.

Jared emphasized OnePlan’s unique position in the market, bridging the gap between basic cloud-based tools and intricate, resource-intensive project scheduling solutions. This balance allowed Redeux Energy to implement both straightforward and detailed scheduling processes within a single platform, catering to diverse project management needs.

Redeux Energy’s implementation journey was supported by PPM Works, providing expert guidance for a comprehensive build-out within their environment. This collaborative effort ensured a tailored deployment of OnePlan, aligning with Redeux Energy’s specific needs and processes.

Benefits Realized

For Redeux Energy’s team members, the most significant advantage of OnePlan was the establishment of a centralized “source of truth.” With OnePlan serving as the nucleus of project management activities, employees could confidently rely on one platform for real-time updates, task tracking, and progress monitoring. This streamlined approach not only boosted efficiency but also facilitated the generation of live reports for stakeholders, showcasing the company’s commitment to utilizing advanced tools for project success.

Success for Redeux Energy transcends mere tool utilization. The Director of PMO highlights the importance of empowering the entire organization through efficient workflows and clear communication channels. By integrating OnePlan into their operations, the company aims to foster a culture where every team member feels valued, connected, and aligned towards achieving overarching business goals.

Success Metrics and Future Growth

The journey with OnePlan has already yielded promising results for Redeux Energy. While initially focused on standard project management practices, the company has now expanded its scope to include front-end project processes. By tracking these efforts systematically within OnePlan, Redeux Energy aims to predictably drive new project acquisitions and maintain a sustainable growth trajectory.
